Man Utd's Matthijs de Ligt started for the Netherlands against Germany on Tuesday but was hooked at half-time.
Manchester United defender Matthijs de Ligt made a mistake that led to Germany's first goal on Tuesday night and Ronald Koeman substituted him at half-time to 'protect him'.
However, De Ligt made a mistake for Germany's equaliser in the first half - he played a poor pass and lost the ball - and was eventually hooked at the interval, suffering the same fate as Casemiro did against Liverpool when being replaced by Brighton centre-back Jan Paul van Hecke.ALSO READ: United monitoring Eze amid plans to sign four key players next summer
"It just looks like he is now in a period where all his mistakes are being punished. I gave him a new chance today, but eventually protected him by taking him off."
